These anti-trans Dems are saying "biological males" should be banned from girls sports because they know exactly how bad it sounds if they say "transgender girls" should be banned from girls sports. They're using "biological males" framing as a sort of self-justification and self-soothing.

My greatest gream is to turn up to a party, driven by this guy, with a baggy of something and an unregistered firearm. Something classy. No explanation.

We're doomed, aren't we. So we replace a slim GOP majority with a slim Dem majority, but 5% of the Dems call me a "biological male". These Dems will concede my rights for important things, and we'll wind up with federal anti-trans laws that affect me in my blue state.

"Reading books is active resistance" is something I tell to my students every day.
AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Probably shouldn't have insisted the Greens stand aside for Burnham like everyone told you, eh?
Government support for drilling at #Jackdaw takes a wrecking ball to any pretence of UK climate leadership & pours fuel on an overheating world - and for what? It’s equivalent to just 2 months of UK gas demand, creates just 27 direct jobs & has *no* impact on energy bills🧵1/4

So, Charlie Kirk’s British lads, TPUK have been caught dabbling in a bit of terrorism. I’m sure that proscription will be along any moment. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

The first Gen AI ad I saw that showed a use case scenario was a person had to read a screenplay and then didn't, so they trick the person they're meant to do this for into thinking they did. The entire purpose of this technology is to trick people and it turns out no one likes being tricked.
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

andy burnham and @lucympowell.bsky.social are framing disability and mental health problems as a 'moral failure'. keir starmer said the exact same thing. these ppl are nazis. this is just nazi shit. im not being hyperbolic. calling disability a moral failing is nazism. this gov is dangerous.

Being trans in UK since 2024 election: -Puberty blocker ban made permanent -U18 HRT ban -Gender Recognition Certificate now meaningless -Trans Section 28 -Welsh ADULT surgery withdrawn -Transphobic language & hate normalised -Civil service toilet ban -Hospital ward ban -Hear it's "dignity & respect"
The NHS promises "privacy, dignity and safety" for all its patients in new guidance that directs hospitals not to respect trans people's identities. Also, somebody impersonating a trans organization in Texas sent fraudulent texts to Republicans. And, nobody trusts Republicans on trans issues.

Opinion: If AI is now part of academic writing, what should institutions actually evaluate? This essay argues that analytical writing should be judged by evidence, structure, argument, and accountability not by guesses about how each sentence was produced. https://chroni.cl/4eDRdjg

the libs are rapidly descending into qanon level madness again where every news story must be reframed into being about their grand narrative. this is going to get so much worse after the midterms when dems fail to produce positive results.
Fascist russia reactivated its Fifth Column in France, the “Yellow Jackets”, to act as agents provocateurs to the rioters attacking French civil society. Yesterday they razed the Limoges Town Hall, a priceless heritage structure. Organized, violent mobs define Chekist warfare.

watching the destruction of the neoliberal order fully break the brains of every lib on this website is such a treat. they’re already accommodating themselves to barbarism bc admitting the communists were right is just too much
latter-day leftists erasing communism's role in the rise of hitler, colorized:
